The study consists on two groups, a perfusion group and a control group. Patients on the waiting list for liver transplantation with proven written consent will be recruited and randomized during organ procurement. Randomization will be performed by computer (www.randomizer.at). Perfusion will be started in the operation room after regular organ procurement, transport and back table preparation. The perfusion procedure will not delay the implantation due to the fact that recipient hepatectomy usually takes 2 hours. During this procedure, hypothermic oxygenated perfusion (HOPE group) for one hour will be performed vs continued cold storage (Control group).
